As required in the Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Standard and the updated COVID-19 Guidance Document, masking in non-outbreak situations in LTC and Retirement Homes continues to be:
- masks are recommended, but not required, in all areas of our Home for caregivers and visitors;
- we are a 'mask-friendly' Home - you may wear a mask if you feel more comfortable doing so;
- continue to self-screen for symptoms of COVID-19 and other illnesses before visiting - a self-assessment tool has been provided for use if you are unsure of how to self-screen https://www.ontario.ca/self-assessment/;
- do not visit if you are sick or unwell;
- if there is an outbreak or during Respiratory Illness Season, we may need to re-implement Universal Masking; and
